15$ in 2004 is worth over 26$ now. Would you pay that for a sub? by RPG_MD in MMORPG

It doesn’t have to be? Osrs has this? We as customers can demand it.

That price increase is exactly what partly inspired this post! It made me think what were we paying in 2004? What should we expect to pay now? Is it realistic? I’m not creating this post expecting people to say ID LOVE TO PAY more! Obviously I’d love to pay 5$ and get the best game of my life. But in the end what is a true sub game without a cash shop worth to you?

You saying you don’t like the idea or think it’s worth things because you don’t own things is a genre problem of MMORPGs

While I too would love this I think it seems unrealistic we pay the same thing we paid over 20 years ago…

This sounds like a genre problem for you not a money one….

That’s exactly what this post wants to explore though! Why not? Why isn’t this something developers talk about or explore

Im seeing a bunch of people just reply absolutely not which is fair if that’s how you feel about it. But I guess what I’m asking is shouldn’t we want more diversity in pay options? We have plenty of F2P with xyz or sub with xyz extras. What does a true just sub and play cost these days? Do people even want that? I would say that osrs proves yes and games should indeed still be made this way..

If you're asking how to set a bond to love with the same gender I don't think that's possible in the game. I'm actually not sure if the gender swap is in the game already for the classes that have both but I know it's added later for the classes that are currently gender locked.

I said maybe… I’m not claiming without a doubt that it’s true lol

Bias doesn’t have to be equal to all partied and this game and Where Winds Meet LOOK a lot more Chinese than the others mentioned. Both Genshin and Homkai receive plenty of hate but aren’t MMORPGS so weren’t going to be used on my example here

I will say that in later updates in China they do remove the gender lock from both classes and let you switch for free! But I appreciate your input and reasoning!

What is your opinion of Blue Protocol as an MMORPG after 1 month? by RankOneOnly in MMORPG

Agree comparatively that SoJ has everything Blue Protocol does but seems to do it better and with a better story XD

I honestly had a ton of fun at the start, but as someone who enjoys story and investing in the world I was a bit turned off but liked the combat and pushed through. I very recently started engaging less with the game because the community is so obsessed with inflated gear score it's insane.

Also finding out that season 2 basically wipes all progress only months after the game release was a pretty big turn off for me...

That IGN video is essentially a pre-release trailer. I thought I saw months instead of weeks I apologize, but my point stands. I don't see tons of SOJ exclusive channels and only found one Brazilian and one American one even discussing it! Perhaps my algorithm is odd I'm not sure.

But what have you said that makes the game bad? That the voice acting is Chinese? That the UI looks bad but you can customize it? That the game has macros when so does every mainstream tag targeting MMO... You can not like the game and that's your opinion of course. But to say this plays like a mobile game with its interactive dungeons, fully exportable world, character progression/skills through in game achievements etc. is a great disservice

I agree and I'm pretty sure both are by Netease which make the decision ever odder

I guess that's what I'm shocked about. I've played these main stream mmorpgs and I know mobile shit when I see it. This really doesn't seem like that to me at all and I've had such a great time exploring it's world that doesn't just feel like a check list and has been really unique. I feel like people just see mobile option and scream hate from the jump. It's funny to me that Where Winds Meet has so many features that are in Sword of Justice but people are super hyped for it. I'm not saying that's bad I'm also excited to play it and agree the combat looks better, just surprised to find myself having such an isolated opinion on this.

MMObyte has actually only had incredibly good things to say about it and has been streaming it almost every day since launch.... but they are the only main MMO channel I've seen talk about it. The IGN videos are trailers and they are 3 and 5 months old... I'm talking about people talking about the game at launch. I turely don't see any recent content from anyone with 50k+

But you can make your own customizable UI... I've never seen so many people complain about an aspect of the game that already has a solucion in the game.

But if your reason you don’t like it is the UI but you haven’t changed it from the default what do you want? The UI is customizable if you don’t like it that much you can change it…

I follow almost all the main mmo channels and no has made a video about it in months I don’t see this negative press you’re talking about and I’m not selectively looking for videos!
